Your yard and garden may already be a green color, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it is environmentally green. Most of the fertilizers and chemicals that we place on our lawns and vegetables runoff in rivers and lakes and end up in the watershed.

There are ways to improve this area of your life and most of them will help you reduce your environmental impact in other areas. Among ideas for the yard and garden - composting, growing your own organic vegetables, and using natural fertilizers and using them sparingly.
